I've tried JBoss Tools in both Eclipse 3.5.2 and Eclipse 3.6. In both cases, when editing a project archive, I am not presented with a context menu option to create a "new user library fileset" as suggested in the docs.

There is one developer sitting near me, running Eclipse 3.5.2, that DOES see the complete context menu. There is another one that has the same problem as I do.

Are there some sort of unstated plugin dependencies?

I really need to be able to do incremental hot deploy and have my Maven dependencies show up in the archive using the "new user library fileset" feature.

Sadly this works for me, but looking at the dependency files, I do see a possible sticking point. The dependency file is listing specific versions required, and this might be mucking things up. The file currently reads as follows:

This is listed in the org.jboss.ide.eclipse.archives.jdt.integration plugins' META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file. It's possible that removing the ";bundle-version="etc" part of the line and replacing it with a comma will fix it.

But I'm not even noticing any errors in my console log.

Either way I'm going to push this change to trunk immediately and remove these hard-coded version dependencies. I'm not sure if it will fix the problem but it's obvious they don't belong there.
